Michigan; PSD Regulations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the 

Michigan State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). The revisions serve to meet 

specific requirements of the prevention 

of significant deterioration (PSD) 

construction permit program under the 

Federal Clean Air Act (CAA). This 

program affects major stationary sources 

in Michigan that are subject to or 

potentially subject to the PSD 

construction permit program. On July 

16, 2010, Michigan submitted revisions 

pertaining to the ‘‘net emission increase’’ 

definition and the ‘‘reasonable 

possibility’’ recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements, and EPA has found the 

revisions acceptable. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective November 26, 2010, unless 

EPA receives adverse comments by 

October 27, 2010. If adverse comments 

are received, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that the rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. This supplementary information 

section is arranged as follows: 

I. Background 

II. What Proposed Revisions Are Included in 

This Approval? 

III. Final Action 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

On December 21, 2006, Michigan 

submitted to EPA the Michigan Air 

Pollution Control Rules, part 18, rules R 

336.2801 [(a) through (tt) except (j) and 

(ff)] to R 336.2819 and R 336.2823(1) to 

(14) (‘‘part 18’’) for approval into the 

Michigan SIP. Part 18 relates to the State 

of Michigan’s PSD permit program. 

Revisions to part 18 were adopted by 

Michigan Department of Natural 

Resources and Environment (MDNRE) 

on December 4, 2006. EPA proposed to 

conditionally approve the PSD SIP rules 

under section 110 of the CAA on 

January 9, 2008 (73 FR 1570). EPA 

received several comments on its 

proposal. On September 16, 2008, after 

considering the comments, EPA 

finalized its conditional approval of the 

submittal, except for Michigan rule R 

336.2816, ‘‘Sources Impacting Federal 

Class I Areas—Additional 

Requirements’’ (73 FR 53366). In a 

separate action on September 16, 2008, 

EPA addressed that excepted section by 

proposing to partially disapprove the 

portion of Michigan’s SIP revision 

submission consisting of Michigan rule 

R 336.2816 (73 FR 53401). 

On September 30, 2008, MDNRE 

submitted additional revisions to the 

SIP which incorporated the corrections 

required by EPA in the conditional 

approval. Specifically, the rules revised 

are R 336.2801(r)(ii)(definition of 

‘‘emission unit’’) and R 336.2801(hh) 

(definition of ‘‘potential to emit’’). EPA 

concluded that the submitted revisions 

to the SIP satisfied the conditions listed 

in EPA’s conditional approval, and 

converted its prior conditional approval 

to full approval on March 25, 2010 (75 

FR 14401). 

II. What proposed revisions are 

included in this approval? 

On July 16, 2010, Michigan submitted 

two SIP revisions pertaining to the ‘‘net 

emission increase’’ definition and the 

‘‘reasonable possibility’’ recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements. As part of 

its December 21, 2006 submittal, 

Michigan had established and EPA had 

approved the definition of ‘‘net 

emissions increase’’ in R 336.2801(ee). 

As allowed by 40 CFR 51.166(b), this 

definition was more stringent than the 

corresponding Federal definition at 40 

CFR 51.166(b). However, in a letter 

dated May 17, 2007, Michigan indicated 

that it was revising the definition of ‘‘net 

emissions increase’’ so that it would 

follow the same requirements as the 

Federal rule. The revision was approved 

by the State on September 11, 2008, and 

Michigan submitted it to EPA on July 

16, 2010, for approval into the Michigan 

SIP. The definition in the July 16, 2010, 

submittal is consistent with the 

definition in 40 CFR 51.166(b)(3). 

Michigan also established the 

‘‘reasonable possibility’’ recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements in R 

336.2818(3) and submitted the rule for 

approval into the Michigan SIP as part 

of the December 21, 2006, submittal. 

Michigan rule R 336.2818 places 

specific requirements on the PSD 

permit, including recordkeeping 

requirements for applicants using 

certain methods for determining if a 

project results in a significant emissions 

increase. However, the MDNRE’s minor 

source permitting program—Michigan 

rule R 336.201—requires this 

information to be submitted for all 

sources as part of a complete Permit To 

Install application before beginning 

actual construction on the proposed 

project (rather than where there is a 

‘‘reasonable possibility’’ that the source 

may exceed the projected actual 

emissions, as required by the Federal 

regulations). Therefore, on September 

11, 2008, Michigan adopted a revised 

rule R 336.2818(3) and, on July 16, 

2010, submitted it to EPA for approval 

into the Michigan SIP. The revision is 

consistent with the requirements of 40 

CFR 51.166(r)(6). 

III. Final Action 

As explained above, MDNRE 

submitted revisions to R 336.2801(ee) 

and R 336.2818(3). The revisions are 

consistent with the requirements of 40 

CFR 51.166. Therefore, EPA is taking 

direct final action to approve Michigan’s 

SIP revisions. 

We are publishing this action without 

prior proposal because we view this as 

a noncontroversial revision and 

anticipate no adverse comments. 

However, in the proposed rules section 

of this Federal Register publication, we 

are publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

State plan if relevant adverse written 

comments are filed. This rule will be 

effective November 26, 2010 without 

further notice unless we receive relevant 

adverse written comments by October 

27, 2010. If we receive such comments, 

we will withdraw this action before the 

effective date by publishing a 

subsequent document that will 

withdraw the final action. All public 

comments received will then be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

If we do not receive any comments, this 

action will be effective November 26, 

2010. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 186 / Monday, September 27, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 59083 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state 

regulations, provided that they meet the 

criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this 

action merely approves state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this action: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that, before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report of this action and other required 

information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. 

House of Representatives, and the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by November 26, 2010. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this action for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Throughout this document, whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. 

On April 23, 2010, the Maryland 

Department of the Environment (MDE) 

submitted a formal revision to its SIP. 

This SIP revision (#10–02) consists of 

amendments to Regulation .07, Paper, 

Fabric, Vinyl and Other Plastic Parts 

Coating, under the Code of Maryland 

Regulations (COMAR) 26.11.19, Control 

of VOC from Specific Processes. These 

amendments are necessary since 

Maryland has adopted the 

recommendations contained in EPA’s 

CTG (EPA 453/R–07–003, September 

2007), for Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings 

for the control of VOC emissions from 

this source category. 

Section 172(c)(1) of the CAA provides 

that SIPs for nonattainment areas must 

include reasonably available control 

measures (RACM), including reasonably 

available control technology (RACT) for 

sources of emissions. Section 182(b)(2) 

provides that States must revise their 

ozone SIP to include RACT for VOC 

sources covered by any CTG document 

issued after November 15, 1990, and 

prior to the date of attainment. EPA 

defines RACT as ‘‘the lowest emission 

limitation that a particular source is 

capable of meeting by the application of 

control technology that is reasonably 

available considering technological and 

economic feasibility’’ (44 FR 53761, 

September 17, 1979). In subsequent 

Federal Register notices, EPA has 

addressed how States can meet the 

RACT requirements of the CAA. EPA 

provides States with guidance 

concerning what types of controls could 

constitute RACT for a given source 

category through issuance of a CTG. The 

recommendations in the CTG are based 

on available data and information and 

may not apply to a particular situation 

based upon the circumstances. The 

State of Maryland has adopted the 

recommendations contained in the 

September 2007 (EPA 453/R–07–003) 

CTG for Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings 

as RACT for this source category. The 

paper, film, and foil coatings product 

category includes coatings that are 

applied to paper, film, or foil surfaces in 

the manufacturing of several major 

product types for the following industry 

sectors: pressure sensitive tape and 

labels (including fabric coated for use in 

pressure sensitive tapes and labels), 

photographic film, industrial and 

decorative laminates, abrasive products 

(including fabric coated for use in 

abrasive products), and flexible 

packaging (including coating of nonwoven polymer substrates for use in
